You have pointed out that you would undertake prosecution (or execution) of someone "sniffing around" your daughter, regardless of her feelings on the matter. It seems like you are willing to disregard the things I pointed out that can make going through that ordeal a much larger negative than a bad relationship.

It just seems odd that Hank would have no problem with a fifty year old dude boinking his eighteen year old daughter. Diff'ernt strokes, I suppose.

And yeah, it still is as if you're afraid of prosecuting cases based on their individual merits.

There are people of a certain mindset, or limited intellect, who insist on X behavior must equate to Y punishment every time, no exceptions.......

Even the $#@!ed up "Just-Us" system we all are currently saddled with isn't that myopic.......Just look at how they treat kops vs citizens.

Its funny how radically ideas on this used to differ. It used to be that people would get married as early as reasonably possible....

Not only that, but marriage to an established man - who would undoubtedly be older - was more desirable than a similarly-aged man of no means.
